A finish coat material composed of a base compound and an accelerator. The base material consists of an epoxy resin which is a reaction product of epichlorohydrin. The activator is normally a polyamide, polyamine, or similar compound. Usually, for colored epoxy finishes, only the base material contains pigment or dye, but both base and activator may be colored. The material may also be furnished with pigment separate from both base compound and accelerator.
